I wear glasses and am looking for some eye protection that I can wear over them - currently, I've only found two; the i-Mask made by an Australian company, and the Quantum made by Ektelon. Does anyone know of any others (and if so, are they available in the UK)?
Also, seeing as I am probably going to buy an i-Mask, has anyone had experience with it and would either recommend it or not?

I've worn an i-Mask for over 10 years. It's comfortable and has never fogged. The visor part cracked and broke after about 5 years, so I bought a replacement visor from i-Mask, which is still going strong.
I have an i-mask. It functions very well. I got it so I could wear graduated bifocals on the court. None of the prescription sports glasses come in bifocal.

I've been using them since around 98 or 99. After the first week or two I've hardly noticed it
I have used one and found it worked well. However I know of one individual who used it when playing doubles and the lens broke when he took a direct hit with the hard ball. I wasn't there so I don't have all the facts about what happened. I still think they are good, just not for the hard ball game.

Most of the goggles I have seen would not stand up to a direct hit by a high velocity hardball. In fact, most of the goggles most people use seem to me to be an untinted version of cheap sunglasses and could not possibly survive a direct hit from a softball off the racquet of a 68 year old(me).>
